Furrys are an abomination. There’s no need to make up fake data when real data would be more useful, but self reporting isn’t a reliable method for gathering it. Regardless though, it borders too closely to bestiality for it to be a tolerable “lifestyle.”
The students said there are attacks from the furries every day, but were unsure of how many furries there actually are at the school, shouting out numbers ranging from five to 100 students who identify as such.
The school’s “furry” population is accused of biting, scratching, spraying air freshener on, barking at and chasing other students.
My daughter was severely bullied at her middle school because they decided she was a furry. They also made those accusations about her- biting and barking and so on. Why? Because she likes punk and likes to wear leather chokers and one day a teacher called it her dog collar.
We had to take her out of the school because of this shit. Not surprised since Indiana, where we were, is a Midwestern Utah.
In high school I hung out with all the punks and skaters. A lot of them would wear the studded jackets with patches and stuff. I didn’t usually dress the part but I love punk music and I love the skate culture so I felt like I fit in there. We didn’t care what anyone else thought or said to us. Social media and cell phones also weren’t really a thing. Bullying is different now because of that and it’s a real problem in many places. I’m sorry you had to take your daughter out of that school. I hope she knows there are people like her, who like the same kinds of music or the same kinds of clothes and that she’s not a freak or a weirdo. School can be tough. Even as an adult people make jokes sometimes about the music I listen too, but you know what? I still don’t care! lol
Thanks. There are people like her in some ways, but she’s a unique person, which is what I love about her. She knows that kids into both the Dead Kennedys and Raggedy Ann doll collecting are not “normal” but she’s fine with not being “normal.” Really, I was the same way. I hung out with all the punks and skaters like you, but I was (and still am) more interested in 1930s and 1940s music. And her mom is similarly eccentric. So we knew she would always be a “weirdo.” We’ve taught her that she should be proud of who she is and that trying to fit in with the “normal” kids isn’t worth it.
Thanks. It actually worked out for the best because she has a lot more self confidence and now that she’s in online school she’s getting the best grades of her life. We’ve had to go down to a single income so I can stay home with her and keep her on track, but it’s been worth it to see what a change it’s made.
Don’t forget to properly socialize her with peers. I have friends who were formally homeschooled and it fucked them up socially for a while. Game clubs might help.
It’s great that you were able to give up your job to take care of your daughter, and that she’s doing well now. But the fact that a bunch of asshole kids bullying her also had the knock-on effect of likely hurting your family’s long-term finances is annoying to hear.
Obviously the horrible shit they put your poor daughter through is the most important thing here. But this shows there are often other negative ripple effects impacting the whole family. Not to mention that most families don’t even have the option to give up an income source.
And all because some scummy kids decide it’s funny to make someone else’s life so miserable.
Utah loves to underfund their schools, because all the rich Mormons send their kids to five figure per year private religious schools. And will happily tell you about it, including how much it costs. :) I'm moving soon, hallelujah!
Idk I was mostly just crying in horror, dread, and anguish. I’m better these days, but like I wasn’t wrong about the state of the world, my body, my social life, and my family. I just probably shouldn’t’ve been doing the crying in class. It was Highschool when I became a shithead I want to smack
In general, what it seems like they want is to prevent social progress, and by having an absurd protest against nothing, they’re trivializing protest. It’s similar to the Republican impeachment attempts of executive branch members, the objective isn’t to get the person removed, it’s to make it seem mundane.
Yep, plus what the other commenter brought up. It’s middle school. These kids are thinking they can get out of class to make fun of other kids and maybe get on the news doing it. They’re parents created this out of nothing to do just what you’re saying.
that seems like a mischaracterization by the school admin:
A petition was started online on Sunday with an initial target of 500 signatures — a number of signatures that was reached by Wednesday, prompting the goal to increase to 1,000 signatures.
The description for the petition says that the administration of the school should more strictly enforce the district’s dress code.
Can Utah go ahead and sue every other fucking company for inflating prices for every goddamned fucking thing I have to buy? I’m so tired of worthless CEO fucks engaging in wage theft and price gouging.
DeSantis was positioned to be the Trump alternative for the Republicans. If he kept his views moderate with the general election in mind he could have been the sane GOP candidate that could have possibly united GOPers that understand that Trump is a guilty pleasure that loses elections. Thankfully, DeSantis is a moron and has Trump's habit of doubling down on losing ideologies, even when the ship is clearly sinking. It appears that when your party is based on rejecting facts and reality your candidates are similarly empty-headed.
I would support a simple system if it was a progressive rate as it is today. A flat single rate is always punitive to the poor.
Reduce the total rates and eliminate all deductions. Then it could be pretty reasonable to eliminate significant portions lf the IRS, only after income reporting is fully automated.
There was a brief period after the us got it's independence where taxes were basically voluntary. As you can imagine, it was not a sustainable government
What fascist wouldn’t want to consolidate power. I’m sure he would dissolve as many government agencies, and compromise as many gov branches as possible. DeSantis would be so much worse than Trump, they’re both fascists but DeSantis actually knows what fascism is.
